History Degrees

Study the past. Understand the present. Prepare for what’s next.

A major in History at Andrews University does more than teach you what happened in the past; it trains you to understand why it happened and why it still matters. Through courses in American, European, and non-Western history, along with foreign language study and hands-on research, students learn to connect ideas across time and cultures. Along the way, you develop strong skills in research, writing, and critical analysis that prepare you for careers in teaching, research, law, and graduate study. Just as importantly, the program fosters moral, intellectual, civic, social, and spiritual growth, equipping students not only for successful careers but for thoughtful, engaged lives.
